Just drove by this place again today and now there about five fake palms and a really big CDIP.

I gotta see this. He said he was going to be putting fake palms around pools and ponds through his landscaping business when I talked to him in Dec. Obviously he didn`t take my suggestion for real palms.Anybody can have a fake only a few can have the real deal. I`ll go and take some more pics.

Here's some fake palms at a gas station in Kansas.
Cheers, Barrie.

Barrie...wonder how many kids have been nearly-garroted by those guy wires.
If that was in Canada, there'd be 72 signs warning people of the danger of guy wires,
and a 73rd warning people of the danger of numerous signs 😆 😆
Kinda cool looking, though.
Steve and Kansas Wes: have you seen this?
Does the middle one have frizzle top? 😐

Well here they are the newest editions of Palmas plastico. I would almost consider the the first one pictured. Key word "almost".

I wonder how long before they start looking ragged from the elements...

Good Question Laaz.
Looks like a Trachy-trunked Phoenix Canariensis to me...(the posted pic)

Laaz and Taylor I think the guy selling these said there is a five year warranty on the whole palm. The palms come from a company in China so I don`t know how they would honor the warranty.

I've got to give the guy credit for trying...
But that cycad plastique is awful.
I thought you couldn't freeze banana fruit 😆
Didn't you say a few months back that these things cost 6 grand? or was it 600?
Thanks for snapping those pics, John.
They probably thought you want to buy the place.

The palms come from a company in China
I wonder how long before the FDA recall?
Cheers, Barrie.
